Applications of 28mm PET Preforms
As a professional 28mm PET preform manufacturer and beverage preform supplier, Enlightening Plast provides food-grade PET preforms for bottled water, carbonated drinks, juice, edible oil, and selected household liquid packaging.
Mineral Water Bottles
28mm PET preforms are widely used for mineral water, purified water, and sparkling water bottle production. For water packaging, clarity, lightweight performance, and leak-resistant sealing are key factors for both brand appearance and production efficiency.
Carbonated Drinks (CSD)
Carbonated soft drinks and sparkling beverages require PET preforms with stable material distribution, accurate neck finish, and reliable sealing performance. Because CSD bottles need to handle internal pressure, the preform specification must be selected carefully according to bottle volume, carbonation level, bottle design, and filling conditions.
Juice Bottles
Juice packaging requires PET preforms that support good bottle appearance, food-contact safety, and stable performance during filling and transportation. Depending on the juice type and filling process, customers may need different preform weights, bottle designs, and material solutions. Our 28mm PET preforms can be used for cold-fill juice bottles and selected beverage packaging applications. For hot-fill requirements, we recommend confirming the filling temperature, bottle design, and material specification before production.
Edible Oil Packaging
Thick-wall, high-strength 28mm preforms built for edible oil containers. Excellent oxygen barrier and UV resistance protect oil quality and extend shelf life, meeting REACH and RoHS compliance standards for food-contact materials.
Custom mold design available for all container shapes
Household Liquid Packaging
28mm PET preforms can also be used for selected household liquid packaging, including cleaners, personal care liquids, and other non-food liquid containers. Since different liquid formulas may have different compatibility requirements, we recommend testing the preform and bottle design before mass production.

What Is a 28mm Long Neck
PET Preform?
A practical guide to PET preform technology, 28mm neck finish compatibility, and why long neck design matters for bottle manufacturing and beverage production.
What Is a PET Preform?
A PET preform is a semi-finished packaging component made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin. It is usually produced by injection molding and then used as the starting material for manufacturing PET bottles through stretch blow molding. PET preforms are commonly used to produce bottles for drinking water, carbonated drinks, juices, edible oil, household liquids, and other liquid packaging applications. The final bottle shape, strength, clarity, and sealing performance are strongly influenced by the preform design, weight, neck finish, and material quality.
Used for Blow Molding
During the stretch blow molding process, the PET preform is reheated, stretched, and blown into the final bottle shape inside a bottle mold. This process allows manufacturers to produce lightweight, transparent, and durable PET bottles at high production speed.
- 1 Inject molten PET resin โ form preform
- 2 Reheat preform to ~100ยฐC (softening point)
- 3 Stretch + blow into final bottle shape
- 4 Cool, inspect, and fill with beverage
What Does "28mm Neck Finish" Mean?
The neck finish refers to the threaded opening at the top of a PET preform -- the part that becomes the bottle mouth. 28mm is the outer diameter of this threaded neck, measured in millimeters.
- Industry-standard size for water & CSD bottles
- Compatible with standard 28mm screw caps globally
- Thread profile follows PCO 1881 / PCO 1810 standards
What Makes It "Long Neck"?
A long neck preform has an extended neck section -- the distance from the support ring to the shoulder is greater than standard preforms. This design is chosen for specific bottle shapes and filling requirements.
- Produces taller, slimmer bottle profiles
- Ideal for hot-fill, juice & functional beverages
- Better grip ergonomics for end consumers
Why Does This Matter for Buyers?
Choosing the right preform spec directly impacts your filling line compatibility, cap sourcing, bottle aesthetics, and production efficiency. The 28mm long neck is one of the most versatile and globally sourced standards.
- Reduces cap sourcing complexity
- Maximizes blow molding machine utilization
- Widely supported by global filling equipment
